The journal expands
Over the past four years, submissions have risen from 210 per annum to over 380 per year, reflecting the increased popularity of the journal amongst authors and readers. While we have have had to become tougher with our decisions as a result, we have decided - after discussions with the editorial board, trustees of the journal and publishers, that there is now a sufficient number of articles that meet SHI standards to justify an expansion.
Our accceptance rate is still going to be tougher than it was four years ago, but this should ease the pressure a bit and result in more good papers contributing to sociological knowledge of health and illness.
